bush administration, george w. bush would be the over regulator. president obama has been out on the stump this week, talking about how he has reduced taxes on businesses 17 times since he has been in office. but regardless of the truth of what he is saying, look at the tactic of what he's saying. he's saying if you're concerned about flip-flopping, president obama is the guy you ought to be worried about. he's the flip-flopper. mr. romney also as a man who has elevators for his cars, who has a $100 million or so trust fund for his sons, who makes $10,000 bets, who says that $374,000 in speaking fees income was not very much money to him, a man whose single funniest story about the midwest is about the hilarious time that his dad closed a factory and the voters got mad about it. the man who easily talks about how much he personally likes to fire people, mitt thurston howell romney iii has been accused of being a little out of touch with the common man. but now, because this is his only political tactic, he has decided that the being out of touch pr

when george w. bush was president, and the president was issuing presidential statements -- presidential finding statements -- where i thought that he was saying he didn't have to obey the law, but you're free to interpret it anyway you want. there was a legitimate, strong argument being made by the president's supporters in favor of why the president had to do finding statements to distance himself from legislation. there were also very strong arguments by people like me saying that that is unconstitutional. so the american bar association appointed a task force to look into these findings statements and i was a member. the president of the aba and i testified before a house committee. guess what? even though a good case was being made by a lot of very good lawyers, that the president was within his rights to issue these findings statements and saying i don't have to follow these provisions of the law, not one single democrat -- not one, saw any merit whatsoever in his argument. even though i thoug
